Les philosophes ont souvent trait??? de la fiction comme d'un probl???me collat???ral, dont l'int???r???t est limit??? ??? la logique et la philosophie du langage. Ce livre affirme en revanche que la fiction joue un r???le central en m???taphysique. En d???veloppant une th???orie ??? artefactuelle ??? de la fiction il aboutit ainsi ??? l'esquisse d'un nouveau syst???me de cat???gories, ??? multidimensionnel ???. L'on comprend ainsi que les personnages fictionnels sont des artefacts abstraits, des entit???s tout aussi ordinaires que les lois, les symphonies ou les oeuvres litt???raires: des entit???s dont l'existence d???pend, d'un c???t???, des actes intentionnels humains (les actes cr???ateurs d'au moins un auteur et les comp???tences linguistiques et culturelles d'une communaut??? de lecteurs) et, de l'autre, de l'existence de certaines entit???s spatio-temporels (des livres, des enregistrements etc.). Les cons???quences m???taphysiques d'une telle th???orie sont importantes: l'identification d'un ensemble de cat???gories ontologiques de base, une meilleure compr???hension de la diff???rence entre vraie et fausse parcimonie ontologique et la formulation d'une base ad???quate pour une ontologique du monde quotidien. Philosophers have often treated fiction as a sideshow issue, whose interest is limited to logic and philosophy of language. By contrast, this book maintains that fiction plays a central role in metaphysics. Through an "artifactual" theory of fiction it leads to the sketch of a new "multidimensional" system of categories. Fictional characters are recognized as abstract artifacts, as ordinary as laws or symphonies or works of literature, i.e. entities whose existence depends on intentional human acts on the one hand (the creative acts of at least one author, and the linguistic and cultural competence of a community of readers) and on the other hand on the existence of some spatiotemporal particulars (such as books, records etc.). The metaphysical consequences of this theory are far reaching: the identification of a set of basic ontological categories, a better understanding of the difference between genuine and false ontological parsimony and the formulation of an adequate basis for an ontology of the everyday world.
